Hi friends!

I know I may open a website (and close my app) with this line:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: @"http://www.google.com"]];

But the problem is that all my code is in C/C++, and even I don't have AppDelegate, because I'm doing a game using SDL and OpenGL (by the way, it works perfectly).
I'm really interested cause I'd like a way to open my website or itunes link from my Lite version (something similar to iShoot Lite).

I have no idea how can I implement this.

Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Don't use SDL on the iPhone, use the standard OpenGL ES template in Xcode which does have an AppDelegate and use what you're used to

SDL_uikitappdelegate.h

warmi Wrote:SDL_uikitappdelegate.h

Code:

/* *INDENT-OFF* */
@interface SDLUIKitDelegate:NSObject<UIApplicationDelegate> {
    UIWindow *window;
}

@property (readwrite, retain) UIWindow *window;

+(SDLUIKitDelegate *)sharedAppDelegate;

@end
/* *INDENT-ON* */

@warmi, can you explain it a litle bit more? I have no idea abot Obj-C
I guess with that code I can get the address of my app delegate, but not sure. Should I create an .m or .mm to use it?

@Taxxodium: I use SDL because I'm porting a game, and the way, SDL works very well on the iPhone.

Thanks a lot

Use [UIApplication sharedApplication]...

You can use Cocoa directly in C++ by using an ".mm" file extension or, if you're like me and like to keep them separate, make a ".m" file (call it whatever, lets say "cocoawrappers.m"). Then add something like this:


Then create a C header for that file "cocoawrappers.h" (or whatever) and add the prototype:


Now you can include the header and call it like any other C function from your C/C++ code.

Thanks Frank for reply.

I'm trying to implement it, but I am not successful. Actually I have no idea about Obj-C, I think I'm going to read some tutorials...

I just added #import "cocowrappers.h" to your first piece of code and name it to cocoawrappers.m, and the second one cocoawrappers.h, I include it on my C++ code but xcode linker says "symbol not found, collect2: id returned status"

I know I'm doing something wrong, but I have no idea.

Frank, do you mean I have to use only [UIApplication sharedApplication] or should I also use warmi proposal? (SDL_uikitappdelegate.h)
Do not forget I'm using SDL.

I know this seems easy, but I'm so bad with Obj-C.

Any suggestion please?

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it a lot.

This might be a dumb question, but did you add cocoawrappers.m to your project?

Do not forget I'm using SDL.

[UIApplication sharedApplication] is a global variable that returns the active application delegate. As long as you don't need to access any of the subclass' functions/variables you can use [UIApplication sharedApplication] and not care or worry about the actual app delegate's implementation.

Yes, I did it,

My files are:

cocoawrappers.h
void OpenURLLiteVersion();

cocoawrappers.m
#import "cocoawrappers.h"
void OpenURLLiteVersion() {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: @"http://www.google.com"]];
}


Should I include any class or interface, or those files are correct?

Thanks.

Looks fine from here, though ya, you might need to import UIApplication.h in the .m file depending on how things are set up. You also might need some header guards in the header.

Also be sure to check inside your target's "Complie Sources" phase to ensure the files is actually being compiled. It's possible to add it to the project but not to the target.
